Overheard

“Love is fire. But whether its gonna warm your heart or burn your house down you can never tell. ”

“My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.”

“True love does not come by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.”

“The most common human act that writing a novel resembles is lying. We lie daily, very complexly, and at great length. If not for our excessive vanity and our over-active imaginations, we would be quite difficult to deceive.”

“If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn’t sit for a month.”

If Nichelle Nichols is in the running, then make mine Diana Rigg, who was recently voted the most sexy TV star ever. When she played Mrs. Peel in The Avengers, she got to wear a leather cat suit and did martial arts fighting way before Dark Angel or The Matrix's Trinity. In fact, I'd say that she singlehandedly invented the archetype. Angelina J. in Hackers is a distant echo of Ms. Rigg.

I just IMed George to ask him how in the world you guys missed Natalie Portman. He replied with a bunch of tapdancing intended to distract me from his obvious and embarassing error, so I'm forced to put the question to you.

Yeah, it's interesting that the next five people I talked to all immediately said Natalie Portman. George and I, we, how you say, no have excuse.
